GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[WeHadNormality]

I've seen this mentioned only a couple times in threads over here, but the Twoism banner with the soundcloud links that showed up recently had the word "HDEuthanasia" at the bottom of the file code.

So far, nobody seems to have brought anything consistant about it, other than pointing out the reference to the Hare computer virus that showed up around 1996. What SEEMS to have been overlooked, however, is certain date information in the description of said virus:

"The virus was set to read the system date of the computer and activate on August 22 and September 22, at which time it would erase the hard disk in the computer and display the following message:
HDEuthanasia by Demon Emperor"
- found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_(computer_virus)

August 22 and September 22... Would that explain why this word appears at the bottom of the file? Could this be the actual information being carried over?

So yeah, this is a speculation thread, so I am, indeed, speculating.

Your thoughts, people? Anything else, historical maybe, happened on an August 22 or September 22?

I think this was talked about a few pages back. The Makus Boc interview right?

Can't stop watching it. SoCal's my favourite part of the world and only four weeks ago I was driving around that part of the desert. The film is the perfect mix of Californian light, sandy desolation and *that* five note motif.

We've been waiting for this for a long time. BoC fans aren't just some of the most obsessive, we're also some of the most patient. The patience has paid off and here's our reward. I wasn't quite in the zone in 2005 as other stuff in my life was happening that blunted the TCH build-up. This time I can really enjoy it, savour every note and new clue and get that feeling of watching something great unfold in real time.

Sorry..that's gushy I know, but it's fucking rare for me to be able to appreciate something as it's happening. This really is one of those times.

With the rate that this is progressing, is anybody else getting the vibe that this is all leading to their new album dropping on May Day?

Decently, i'd say two months after whatever the end of this will announce/reveal us..
I might be wrong though but early May seems impossible logistically...

Same here; the heart of the old boys are slower to bounce faster, they make mine go wild...

Right.

Saw this posted on the '6 number sequence as it stands' thread earlier and had the page open still.

Here Hare here

Still probably just coincidence.

Not exactly what I'm pointing at. The interview was mentionned, the 'Boc' in the title was 'brushed off' as a coincidence but that interview is not my concern here.

I don't really get how you link to the Masquerade book, but otherwise, that word at the bottom of the file doesn't seem to be there for no reason, unless they planted false leads to mess with us, haha.

Same, only just caught up on the adult swim events. Ohmagad a BoC advert on television. Didn't think I'd ever say that. Too exciting for words.

Wiki quote:

Challenged by Tom Maschler, of the British publishing firm Jonathan Cape, to "do something no one has ever done before" with a children's book, Williams set out in the 1970s to create a book of paintings that readers would study carefully rather than flip through and discard. The book's objective, the hunt for a valuable treasure, became his means to this end. Masquerade featured 15 detailed paintings illustrating the story of a hare (named Jack Hare), who seeks to carry a treasure from the Moon (depicted as a woman) to her love object, the Sun (a man). On arriving at the sun, Jack finds he has lost the treasure, and the reader is left to find its location.

Along with creating the book, Williams crafted a hare from 750 millesimal (18 carat) gold and jewels, in the form of a large filigree pendant on a segmented chain. He sealed the hare inside a ceramic hare-shaped casket (both to protect the prize from the soil, and foil any attempts to locate the treasure with a metal detector). The casket was inscribed with the legend "I am the Keeper of the Jewel of MASQUERADE, which lies waiting safe inside me for You or Eternity".

On 7 August 1979, Williams (accompanied by celebrity witness Bamber Gascoigne) buried the casket at a secret location within England. Williams announced that his forthcoming book contained all clues necessary to decode the treasure's precise location "within a few inches." At the time, the only additional clue he provided was that it was buried on public property that could be easily accessed.

To ensure that readers from further afield had an equal chance of winning, Williams also announced that he would confirm the first precisely correct answer sent to him by post.

It's reminiscent of this whole thing is all I meant.
